There is one story that is a traditional tale told as part of the Passover observance. It is a story about 4 Jewish sons and speaks about their attitudes toward religion. The sons are named: Wise, Wicked, Simple and Young. Young is ignorant of Israel’s traditions and culture, Simple is indifferent to the festivals, Wicked rejects everything and is disrespectful, and Wise is the observant one. Which son are you?

I want to learn to be Wise but most the time I am Young! I want to find what is honoring the Father (i.e. following His instructions) and weigh carefully what has been adopted by the church, whether it is from Christianity or Judaism. I want to find the pure word so that I will not be Wicked, Simple or Young! If it is wise to be observant, then let us begin there! Let’s observe! Let’s examine what is traditional and what is the bottom line. May we all do like Wise.
